Shang Lu followed Zhu Jin anxiously, "Zhu Jin, don't leave. You haven't told me how to get back."
Shang Lu thought of something strange, shuddered, and said in a sleepwalking voice, "He woke up... No, I woke up, Zhu Jin, I'm still here, but I woke up, he seemed to be me, no, that's not me, like a monster, he knows everything about me, as if he is me."
Zhu Jin paused for a moment and walked a little slower. Shang Lu didn't notice it. He was just in great pain. He held his head and followed Zhu Jin. His voice was trembling slightly, whether it was nervousness or anger. "I don't know what happened, but I really woke up. I thought he wouldn't wake up if I wasn't in his body, but he woke up. He knew everything. Zhenzhen didn't even realize he was fake."
Zhu Jin's eyes flashed with interest. Shang Lu was here, so who woke up in Shang Lu's body? From what he meant, that person was still himself. This sounded weird, and the matter was also weird, but since Shang Lu said it, and he looked like he was hit hard, it must be true.
I wonder what Shanglu looks like when he wakes up? Zhu Jin became interested in Shanglu for the first time.
"Zhu Jin, can you help me check and tell Zhenzhen that it's not me?" Shang Lu was still begging behind Zhu Jin, "Zhu Jin, can you help me tell her, there's something in my body, it would be bad if it's a demon."
"I heard Zhenzhen say that as long as I wake up, they will get married immediately. But that's not me, how can we get married? What if he hurts Zhenzhen..." Shang Lu suddenly became smart and continued after thinking for a while, "Let's not talk about hurting Zhenzhen. What if he hurts Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Zhu Jin's brows slightly wrinkled, and worry flashed in her eyes. Would Helian Lan really be hurt? No, if that person was really wrong, Shang Lu shouldn't have been so anxious to find her and ask her to tell Zhen Zhen. It has been several hours since Shang Lu woke up. If there was really something wrong with that Shang Lu, Helian Zhen and others would not have been able to find out.
Zhu Jin's brows relaxed. Only if Shang Lu who woke up did not show any abnormality would the Shang Lu in front of him be so anxious.
Shang Lu didn't know that Zhu Jin had figured out the whole thing, and he was still trying to persuade Zhu Jin, "Not to mention how good Her Majesty is to you, there's also His Royal Highness the Prince. He's the reincarnation of your father, can you bear to see him get hurt..."
Zhu Jin's eyes narrowed, and he thought silently, "Get out! Get out!"
This was a method used by someone in her previous life. It was said that the person with the Yin-Yang Eyes taught him this method. Although this person couldn't see her, he might have sensed her presence and used this method to deal with her.
"Ah..." With a scream, Shang Lu, who had been following Zhu Jin, disappeared out of thin air. Zhu Jin turned around silently, and as expected, he did not see Shang Lu again.
Zhu Jin curled the corners of his mouth slightly, not knowing where Shang Lu would wake up.
In her previous life, she woke up in a business when such an accident happened. It should be said that every time an unexpected situation occurred, she would always wake up in a business quickly.
Zhu Jin slept very soundly that night without any dreams.
Shanglu woke up again in the same place where he woke up for the first time, in exactly the same place and in exactly the same posture.
"Where exactly is this? Where exactly is this?" Shang Lu looked at the place that was becoming more and more familiar, and felt that everything was becoming more and more confusing. "Why did I suddenly disappear in front of Zhu Jin and wake up here? Why?"
Shang Lu will probably never guess the reason, and it’s just because of Zhu Jin’s thought.
In a moment, he can disappear before your eyes.
Shang Lu once again walked through the ancient city that he was becoming more and more familiar with. He woke up twice in the same place for no apparent reason. This time, Shang Lu decided to take a good walk. He walked through the west of the city again, and became more and more certain that it was the wooden city where his son would later take them.
"Yes, this is Mucheng. Why do I always wake up in this inexplicable Mucheng?" Shang Lu kept thinking back, and finally thought of the place where he first woke up, "Medical Clinic, Zhu Family Medical Clinic... Zhu Family Medical Clinic..."
“Zhu Family Clinic!” Shang Lu’s eyes suddenly widened. He remembered what that place was. It was the clinic that pulled him back from the brink of death. He didn’t recognize the doctor with white hair and eyebrows who was only skin and bones. Later, he heard that it was the clinic opened by Zhu Jin’s father, and the doctor was Uncle Zhu…
"No, no, Zhu Jin said she saved me once..." Shang Lu remembered what Zhu Jin had said to him.
She said, "Back then, it was me who saved you in the Zhu Family Clinic, not my father! From now on, don't let me hear the words 'Uncle Zhu' again. How can you be worthy of mentioning my father, how can you be worthy of calling him uncle!"
Shang Lu's mind was in a state of confusion. "Could that really be Zhu Jin... If that was Zhu Jin... Was what she said last time true?"
The truth…if it’s the truth, that’s the scariest thing.
Because Zhu Jin said something else before saying that sentence.
"I watched him die without saving him, because he was reborn into Helian Zhen's belly. He will bear the consequences of your sins. It is a life destined by God to be taken away. How could I save him?"
What on earth did they do? What on earth did they do to prevent the child from being born? Shang Lu had a splitting headache. He walked back to the clinic step by step with difficulty, looking carefully, looking through every corner, trying to find any flaws, but in the end he found nothing, and instead remembered everything he had experienced here in his previous life.
"It's really here..." Shang Lu collapsed to the ground, with the sudden thunder that day in his mind.
Zhu Jin's words, the strange scene, and the waking of 'Shang Lu' who looked almost exactly like himself, made Shang Lu feel uncontrollably desperate and afraid. He had no idea how to explain these strange things happening to him, nor did he know where he would go in the future as he was neither human nor ghost.
"I woke up here for a reason... I can't retreat, nor can I give up halfway. I want to see through this place, see through this place..." Shang Lu got up trembling and set off again.
He walked all over the west of the city, then walked into the center of the city and saw the familiar and majestic imperial palace.
In his previous life, he served as an official in the court. He had no chance to enter the palace for the first ten years. Later, as his official position became higher and higher, he became qualified to enter the court and meet the emperor.
The imperial palace is a place that will leave a deep impression in one's mind at a glance, not to mention that Shang Lu has been here more than once.
At just one glance, Shang Lu realized that this was the imperial palace of his previous life.
Shang Lu walked in with an indescribable feeling, and walked to the front hall step by step in a trance. The palace was empty. Shang Lu did not dare to go to the harem, and retreated step by step.
After leaving the palace, Shang Lu walked towards the familiar road in the east of the city without thinking. Every step and every street was familiar. It was the place where he had lived for decades and he was familiar with it to the core.
The Zhu family clinic, the neighboring Zhu family, and the businesses, everything was still the same, except that the whole city was now deserted.
Shang Lu wandered around this ancient city for a whole night. After dawn, he ran to the city gate in a daze.
After passing through the city gate, Shang Lu looked up and saw the two simple and elegant words "Ancient City" at the city gate. Shang Lu stared blankly for a long time, and then he remembered the ancient city incident that had caused a lot of controversy some time ago. Could this be the ancient city?
Yes, there is only that ancient city...
At this moment, Shang Lu could not have imagined that from then on he would have a deep bond with this ancient city.
And Zhu Jin would never have thought that the ancient city she drew with her own hands would become the city that trapped Shang Lu after it was built. No, it’s not that he was trapped, but no matter where he went in the future, as long as there was an unexpected situation, he would return to this ancient city and wake up.
Shang Lu started off again shakily, floating towards the general hospital with a clear goal. He wanted to go and take a look and see everything.
See what he and Helian Zhen did, and see what happened to the awakened 'Shanglu'.
Shang Lu didn't want to look for Zhu Jin again for the time being. After a night and seeing the entire ancient city, he slowly began to believe what Zhu Jin said.
It was most likely Zhu Jin who saved him back then. She said that she had been accompanying Uncle Zhu all the time. She must have stayed in Mucheng for a long time to be so familiar with him. It was impossible for her medical skills to suddenly become so powerful in this life without any reason.
If the Uncle Zhu that time was Zhu Jin, then everything would make sense.
Shang Lu floated back to the General Hospital, and saw Zhen Zhen finally laughing heartily, and the familiar 'Shang Lu' looking at Helian Zhen with a smile on his face. The two of them were unaware of Shang Lu's arrival and were happily eating breakfast.
"Eat more. You're so skinny now." Shanglu coaxed Helian Zhen to eat more, just like he did before.
"Well, I'll eat, and you should eat more too, to make up for the weight you've lost." Helian Zhen nodded, feeding 'Shanglu' while eating.
"Okay, I'll eat it. Don't worry too much, Zhenzhen. I'll recover quickly." Shanglu ate what Helian Zhen fed him and persuaded helplessly, "It's just a heart transplant. It's okay. Many people have had their organs transplanted and are still alive and well. You can't worry now. You have to take good care of it."
"Well, I won't think too much about it. I won't think too much about it." Helian Zhen agreed and nodded continuously.
After dinner, the two discussed some things. Shanglu answered fluently and there was no sign of abnormality. Shanglu watched intently, waiting for Shanglu to reveal a flaw. He also kept trying to return to his body and pass through Shanglu's body again and again.
The result, naturally, was failure again and again.
He stood aside, watching people coming and going in the ward. He spoke to everyone who came in and tried to touch them, but without exception they all had no reaction, including his father.
Shang's father, who had always kept his word and ignored him, resumed contact with him after Shang Lu saved Helian Zhen. Shang Lu saw clearly the complex and deep feelings Shang Lu had for the awakened 'Shang Lu', and felt bitter and complicated in his heart, but in the end, Shang's father could not hear what he said, and he could not touch Shang's father.
Shang Lu stared blankly at his father leaving.
Shang Lu finally became afraid again, afraid of this lonely world where only his own voice was heard.
No matter happy, angry, sad or happy, there is only me, always only me...
Shang Lu felt a chill down his spine, but he was unaware that this was just the beginning. The real pain was still to come, waiting for him little by little.
That is the real retribution.
